For me it does. For a lot of people, it does. There is a reason we have incidents where a shooting happens, everything is chill, and then the video is released and all hell breaks loose. The details matter to anybody who isn't Rickyvol level biased.

Maryville has 29k people. Riots don't happen in small towns. The mob is not emboldened to riot, even if they wanted to.

There have been several incidents this year where the unrest had already started and against protocol the police released the video to show a clearly justified shooting. Your assumption of rational response is curious.

Detroit police chief: Video shows killing of man by officers was justified shooting

He was running around waving a gun and according to some people, had fired at cars. One girl abandoned her car on the street and ran towards a house. My daughter saw the officer fire, didn't (thankfully) see the impact.

Say his name! Quit making excuses for law enforcement. It’s obvious that if law enforcement didn’t exist this wouldn’t have happened. Defund now!

I think there was a marine a few years back with ptsd around that area that snapped and was running around with a gun while pointing it at cars. Pretty sure he was taken down by police as well. I wonder if this was a similar type of situation.

At this point, you're mocking people like George Floyd, Philando Castile, and Breonna Taylor, who are all dead for no good reason. These aren't cases like Michael Brown. They are cases where the CJS completely ****ed up, and you're mocking the legitimate and peaceful response to their deaths.

Floyd and Taylor died because of their own decisions, Castile was the only truly innocent one you have mentioned

I don't recall that one but wouldn't be surprised. This was strange though, I expected "breaking news" to be kind of timely. This guy had been in a body bag for a couple of hours and the local news sources were still saying his condition was "unknown". Everyone near the scene knew his condition immediately. Apparently one of the shots was a headshot.

George Floyd was a criminal who would be alive if he had not just taken a fatal dose of fentanyl. He was behind the wheel ready to operate a vehicle. Michael Brown was thug and I absolutely believe was a justified shooting. Taylor should be alive because the warrant was over reaching, but there is zero proof her race played any role in her death.

I have no objection to peaceful demonstration. Funny you ignore Chop zones and billions in damage and loss. Convenient.
